Watching Light Happen

On This Day

As the year progresses, we experience new and exciting things. But sometimes it’s good to take a look back. Each day we will look back into the archives and re-post something that was posted on this day years past.

“Docked”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Docked” f13, 1/125 sec., ISO 400, 72mm It sits quietly, still. Small ripples in the water. Each of the reflections telling a different story. Depending on what you want to hear. It draws you in. WPC – Serene

“Palms Burst”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Palms Burst” Its humid, hot. The wind slowly stirs the palm fronds above. In the distance you hear the drums as they beat to the Caribbean vibe, drawing you in. You look above within the breeze and the fronds move in perfect harmony to suddenly create the sunburst that highlights your day. Suddenly, all of your worries disappear. Forever. ?…

“Quiet Alleyway”-Originally posted on Pique Images: ? ? “Quiet Alleyway” f9, 1/50 sec., ISO 100, 35 mm There is a lot to be appreciated of a quiet back road to get places. Each route has its own special qualities that can arouse the senses and imagination. Even in a busy urban location, certain places can bring the peace and quiet that one dreams of while they…

“Chilly Night”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Chilly Night” The moon is out, shining brightly. The sky has cleared enough for us to see beyond the winter cover of clouds and rain. It’s still chilly, though, and the trees remain bare. Waiting for spring to come and warm the earth. Crisp. ? #tellafriend #photography #moon #silhouette ?

Antique Gear-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Antique Gear” There are many things that are great about the technology we have available to us today. It lets us keep our lives in order, keeps us connected to our loved ones, and lets you entertain yourself with games, television, and music. The one thing it lacks is longevity. Items today may have a life of 5 years, if…

“Old Yellow”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Old Yellow” Its the star of the show. It glistens in the light as it turns the corner yet maintains its subtlety. Classic in all the right ways. ? #classiccar #yellow #vintage #photography ?

“Floaties”-Originally posted on Pique Images: ? “Floaties” Along the river the current runs swift. Its the place for adventure. To float down the river in adult “floaties” would be serene, calming. Just be prepared. When you return, there are plenty of windows to view the river from. ? #photography #kayak #houseboat WPC – Windows ?

“The Stoughton”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “The Stoughton” It stood the test of time, through all its travels. These eyes have seen a lot more road than they wanted. The wheels that carried them, strong and endless. Everlasting. ? #antiquecar #stoughton #photography ?

“Bridge over Multnomah Falls”-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Bridge over Multnomah Falls” At the beginning of winter thaw, the water rushes to the edge, the end. It’s power evident in the roar of the falls cascading over and pooling on the shelf before it cascades again to the bottom. The smell in the air is so crisp, you know spring is coming. Blossoming in the sun. ? #waterfall…

Our wish for the future-Originally posted on Pique Images: “Tiny Toes” When I gaze upon the beauty of nature and all that is possible, all I can do is to wish that the future will be bright for all that come into the world after us. The beauty of a newborn is the most precious wish of all in wanting the future of humanity to be bright and hopeful…
